Highly Enantioselective Chiral Diol-Catalyzed Conjugate Addition of Boronic Acids to α,β-Unsaturated Trifluoromethyl Ketones. 2023
The (R)-3,3'-(3,5-(CF3)2-C6H3)2-BINOL-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate addition of organic boronic acids to α,β-unsaturated 1,1,1-trifluoromethyl ketones affords corresponding addition products bearing a stereogenic center at the β-position in moderate to high yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee), without any 1,2-addition product formation. Moreover, this catalytic protocol features mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, suitability for alkenylboronic acids and (hetero)arylboronic acids, and easy scale-up.
